As it says 'Data-centre-as-a-service'
A shared data centre, outside the centre of the city, used by several
research inistitutes and universities.
I have been involved in preparing bids for equipment there, including
the innovative eMedlab project.
Ugh. Can we please stop tacking 'as-a-service' on to everything these
days? I'm starting to hate 'as-a-service' almost as much as 'cloud' and
'big data'. While I get the point he's trying to make. It's really just
an off-site colocation facilty whose cost is shared between the
different partner institutions.
